`A British soldier died on this hill today `

A British soldier died on this hill today
Teenage in years but a soldier no less
He took the Queens shilling
His call to arms
A Mother now weeps
Warrior now rest

He died a soldier
The job he adored
His Granddad so proud
Sister in shock
Oh why at nineteen?
Why wasn’t he spared?

A British soldier died on this hill today

RIP.
